Convergent Synthesis of Dolastatin 15 by Solid Phase Coupling of an N-Methylamino Acid
摘要:
Convergent synthesis of dolastatin 15 (1), a cytostatic depsipeptide isolated from the Indian Ocean sea hare, has been described. For construction of the backbone, a single-step condensation of peptide fragment 2 and pyrrolidone fragment 3 was successfully performed using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolinium hexafluorophosphate (CIP) developed by us as an efficient coupling reagent. Coupling of an N-methylamino acid on solid support was first achieved using CTP for the efficient synthesis of peptide fragment 2. The effectiveness of CIP for the coupling of N-methylamino acids in solution and on solid support were clarified by the syntheses of model di- and tripeptides.
The natural cytotoxic compounds dolastatins 10 and 15 exhibit great similarities in structure and in their biological activity profiles. Two compounds (1 and 2) formed by interchanging the dolaisoleuine residue of dolastatin 10 and the MeVal-Pro dipeptide of dolastatin 15 were synthesized in order to evaluate the possible equivalence of these units. These compounds can be considered as chimeras of dolastatins 10 and 15 formed by the N-terminal part of the former and the C-terminal part of the latter and vice versa. Both analogues exhibited a marked decrease in their cytotoxic activity but showed similar differential cytotoxicity with regard to the cell Lines assayed compared with the parent compounds. HT-29 cell line was the least sensitive one. However, this activity was in the nanomolar level and close to that of vincristine. The differences in their effect on tubulin polymerization were less pronounced. We confirmed the already known crucial role of the Dil residue in this assay. The nonequivalence of the Dil unit and the MeVal-Pro dipeptide probably reflects modification in the relative positions of the N-dimethylamino and the phenyl moieties.
